“All right,” Henrick said. “I'll meet you at the hospital entrance.”
After the call ended, Arielle noticed the embarrassment on Henrick's face.
To him, it was embarrassing for his wife to suffer from mental illness.
She looked out the window as though the previous phone conversation had escaped her ears.
Soon, they arrived at Morgan Psychiatric Hospital.
Arielle got down from the car and saw Matthias waiting at the entrance.
When their gazes met, she spotted a flash of hatred in his eyes which disappeared in an instant. He promptly put on a smile.
“This must be Ms. Moore.” Matthias stepped forward to greet them. “Mrs. Southall told me that you have a gorgeous daughter, Mr. Southall. Looks like she's right! You're one lucky man!”
Henrick loved it when people heaped praises on him. A pleased expression flitted across his face.
Matthias then asked, “What happened to Mrs. Southall? Is she... Is she ill?”
Henrick's face clouded over at once.
“You'll know when we meet her,” he said, finding it hard to reveal the truth.
Matthias nodded. He walked beside Arielle as they made their way into the hospital.
After they filled in the visitation form, the medical staff led them to Cindy's ward.
The psychiatric hospital resembled any normal hospital with the exception of a grill in front of every ward as though animals were locked inside.
When the door to Cindy's ward was pushed open, Arielle saw that Cindy was tied to the bed.
